Restaurants in Elkhart

“I would give Essence of Elkhart 10 stars if I could! We are blown away every time, especially by how the staff makes you feel like you're the only patrons in the room! Not to mention that the food is the best in the state! Make a reservation now and you'll leave there so happy you did.”

“We had an incredible experience tonight for our anniversary! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, food and drinks were terrific and they even had a hand written card and bubbly at the table when we arrived. We were both glad that our go to restaurant for special occasions was closed and we decided to try somewhere new. We'll definitely be back!”

“we are from out of town and stopped at thr Chubby trout on the recommendation of our hotel. the atmosphere is awesome thr staff is friendly and the food is great. Our waitress Yesnia was efficient, friendly and accommodating. Would absolutely go back and recommend to anyone.”

“Great atmosphere. Friendly staff, interesting decor, good beer and food. Establishment does fill up and can be difficult to get a seat. We have been here twice and luck out each time once in dining area and once at bar. Pizzas are really good and prices for food and beer are very reasonable. Note: you place your order at the bar food will be delivered when done. However you will need to go to bar to get your drinks through out the evening. I have heard some complain about this but we did not have a problem with this method service.”

“Okay. It is a unique place in Elkhart for a bar. A bit pricy for the food and service. Disappointed that the bartenders did not interact very much. Chips were good.”

“Our service was very good and our meals were prepared as ordered. Delicious!!! The side salad was large enough for us to share, and it was delicious, too. I love the bread, a must have... We will definitely return.”

“Always great food, very accommodating, fun wait staff.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and low carb. I'm also allergic to tomatoes. The crab dip is great without the crumbs and veggies go well with it. Also love the cauliflower crust quattro fromaggio pizza with Alfredo instead of tomato sauce. Definitely a winner!”

“Smokin’ Fattys has excellent food and service. Speedy food delivery. Candace, our server was so friendly and checked on us several times! Worth the 30 minute drive!”

“I am of North Boston Italian Descent. When it comes to Authentic Italian food, we "don't play". Antonios Italian Ristorante is beyond legit. The hospitality, atmosphere, and food make me feel at home! Highly Recommend!”

“Wow! I had heard so many great things about Westwind Brewery, and this place did not disappoint. The building itself is clean, modern, and spacious, but not overly so - it still has a cozy feel. Aaron, the owner, was working the bar. He was very outgoing and personable. You can tell it's his blood, sweat, and tears that have made this place what it is today. The beer was great. I have enjoyed everything I have had from Westwind over the years, but being in the tasting room gave me the chance to branch out. The other beers did no disappoint! They were even running a special with St. Jude Children's Hospital where $1 was being donated for every pint sold of a special beer! I didn't get to try any food because we had dinner reservations to get to, but the patrons next to me at the bar were raving about the food, especially the Caprese sandwich. I had my eye on the Cuban sandwich. 5 stars all around! I can't wait to go back when its warmer and the garage doors are opened. Cheers!”

“We stopped in this beautiful winery after a week of traveling and working and the first thing I can say is, I was welcomed by everyone in this establishment. Owners and guests! Everyone was friendly, pleasant and in good spirits. Larry the owner came and introduced himself and we went through the wine tasting. Although I am a very light drinker I tried 2 types of wines which were absolutely delicious. Larry informed me all wines are made in house and even hand labeled. Such a delight! I would recommend this place to all, it’s a great place to get to know the locals and considering I was coming for a quick drink, 2 hours later I was still there laughing with Larry and his lovely wife. I shall definitely be returning when next in town. 5*”

“If you're up in Northern Indiana near Goshen then stop by Heinnie's....and you may want to get there early because when we showed up at 4:30p on a Saturday night the wait was 60 minutes. It was worth the wait! We got on the list and then sat in our truck until GO time. One of their specialties is the fried chicken and it's fantastic! I grew up on a farm. Both my mom and grandma had their recipes of fixin' (yeah fixing') fried chicken so I know good fried chicken and this is awesome! The cup of house made chili was really good and the sampler platter for the appetizer was well done. Did I tell you the chicken was some of the best I've had? My kiddo had the pork tenderloin and it came out in true Indiana fashion, IYKYK. I had a sample of the half she couldn't eat and again, fantastic. For the four of us to have drinks (sodas), two beers, three entrees (2 split the chicken because it's half a chicken), two beers, soups, salads, and the sampler platter it all came to $102 including the tip. I tip well because I used to be a server, they did a great job, and I'm not cheap. ;-) BTW, we paid at the table as all the servers have the mobile devices for payment. Many simple things done very very well...especially the fried chicken. P.S. I hear the prime rib is especially good, but I'll have to save that for next time.”

“Oh, we had such a delightful dinner at Perbacco - Jorden Wizard waiter and she was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed the food delicious the portions are huge. I will go back just for the vodka and sauce and meatballs. The tiramisu and the carrot cake were enough to feed a family, I love the tiramisu wasn't so cracked up about the carrot cake but others in my family loved it about the only thing I can add is that please inquire as to reservations and the status of people we were there with our elderly parents and they wanted to sit at a high top table just by looking at us when we walked in you could tell that probably would not be the best option. And the Pam martini was delicious. Great recommendations all around.”

“Absolutely love this place. Love how a manager always comes to check on you after you get your food which is always great. Love Brit for always taking great care of us.”

“Food, atmosphere, and service were all top notch! Chris was our server and was fabulous! He offered not only great service, but great recommendations! Can’t wait to get back and try even more items from the menu! 5 out of 5 stars!!!”

“I have a really good experience !!! Food amazing, music, variety on drinks and absolutely good price?Vegetarian options: Vegetales ? soups see foodParking: Good spots!!!!Kid-friendliness: ? candy snaks music and more for our kidsWheelchair accessibility: Yes!!! Is good place”

“First visit here. Everything was delicious! 9” pizza, pasta carciofi, & lasagna. Shelby, our server was friendly & did a great job! We’ll stop again if we’re in the area. ?”

“Originally from the area, now living away. Bruno’s accommodated my request for a half baked pizza to take home and finish baking. It was fabulous and froze enough to share later! Thank you Bruno’s!!”

“Some would call it a 'hole in the wall', I call it AMAZING!!! The pupusas are over flowing with filling and the salsa is the best!! This restaurant is attached to International Bakery and you can't leave without getting a Tres Leches. Highly recommend this to everyone!”

“Mikaela is an absolutely WONDERFUL server! She smiles even when they are busy and trying to learn a new system. She was very attentive and happy. I will come back and specifically ask for her. ❤️ As for the food, it was just as amazing as Mikaela!!!”

“Great food is a little pricey but in line with Soho and Hana Yori. The problem is there was only 1 waitress and 1 cook. The poor girl was running around, trying to keep up, and she did a really good job for 1 person. The full party of 12 was waiting on our chef. Luckily, it was a birthday, so the kiddo was able to open presents while they waited. They usually aren't this under staffed.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of handicap parking”

“Great stop in Dunlap for dinner. Large selection of wing sauces and friendly staff. Sides are very good. Great appetizers. They have a family dining area and a large bar area in the the back.”

“This place was opened when there was a huge snowstorm that halted our road trip and travel plans. Q, one of the staff members was super nice and super helpful answering our questions and sharing information. The mushrooms were so good. Thank you for saving us from the winds and Arctic temperatures. Oh they have live music bands and sorry we didn't stay for it but we were exhausted from driving until our car stopped working right outside of Elkhart IN.”
